AI, Rights and Remuneration: CISAC and DASC convene audiovisual creators at FICCI 2026

As artificial intelligence accelerates its impact on the audiovisual sector, questions around creators' rights, income and ownership are moving to the forefront of global debate.

Against this backdrop, CISAC and DASC will host the Audiovisual Creators' Panel, AI and the Economic Future of Audiovisual Authors: Why Regulation Matters, in Cartagena, Colombia, on 16 April 2026 from 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., alongside the Festival Internacional de Cine de Cartagena de Indias (FICCI).

The event forms part of CISAC's Global Creators Dialogues - Centenary Series.

The session will explore the economic impact of AI on audiovisual creators, the growing need for balanced regulation, and the role of collective management organisations in managing rights in the AI ecosystem. It will also present key insights from CISAC's global study on the economic impact of AI in the audiovisual industry.

The panel will feature:

• Teresa Saldarriaga, President, DASC
• Rafael Fariñas, CISAC Regional Director for Latin America and the Caribbean
• Luis Enrique Vanegas, Director
• Víctor Quesada Largo, Director and Producer

Moderated by Luisa Luna, CISAC Creators Relations Manager, the discussion will bring together creators and industry voices to address one of the defining challenges for the future of the creative economy.

The event is open to accredited FICCI participants. A recording and summary article will be published on the CISAC website following the session.
